I do need to order the build sheet since the build date area is unreadable on the one I pulled out of the crossmember. However, I do have an original invoice which appears to document the transfer of the vehicle from GM to the dealership from which the car was sold from and lists all the options, pricing & other things. I can take a picture of it and post it if that will help, maybe you guys can help me decode it.
There are several dates on this invoice, listed as follows (I'm not sure what the last two mean):
INVOICE 5/24/90
PRICED 5/22/90
SHIPPED 5/24/90
EXP I/T 5/29/90
INT COM 5/29/90
So that means my car sat at the dealer for about 6 months before it was sold to the P.O. on 11/22/90. Since my block has a cast-in date of 3/7/90, that means the build date of my car should fall somewhere around March of '90 I would think. Are there any dates anywhere on the car itself that would give a clue as to what the build date was?

Not that #2299 will ever be judged or need to justify the stamp, I am very curious how two stamps in two places were wrong.
I always like to try and wrap my brain around these even though I have no skin in the #2299 game.

Agreed, my ZR-1 is definitely not an NCRS candidate, but I like learning about stuff like this and I'm also very curious as to why both stamps from both manufacturers were redone. My Z might have an interesting history and I want to learn about it.

What process did Chevrolet go through to replace these engines? What did they do with the damaged blocks? when did Mary stop killing LT5s? Could #2299 have started it's life with a new block because Mary killed it? That would make #2299 an interesting footnote in the lexicon of ZR-1 history. ...

Who was this "Mary" person and what kind of moron starts a car at WOT??
